Site selection is a fundamental step, which can condition the success of a CO2 geological storage. A CO2 storage has to gather several targets, which can be expressed through a list of criteria. In the proposed site selection methodology, these criteria can be classified into “killer criteria” and “site-qualification criteria”, whose combinations allow identifying potential sites and the most appropriate one(s). This multicriteria methodology is applied on the PICOREF study area, located in the Paris Basin, on which potential site(s) in deep saline aquifers are investigated.
